Don't you think that it would be easier if it were a possibility to close app by single click rather than repeatedly pressing Back button?

Are there any means now to kill an app which has hanged?

Apps will remain running in the background if we use the Windows key to return to the start screen but will be closed if we use the back button instead. This is my preferred method unless I want an app to remain running whilst I'm performaing another task.

So, effectively we can close apps down with a single click just by using the back button to exit an app.

In my case it did not help when Excel or Powerpoint hanged. When they hanged they blocked internet connection (for the whole phone - when I tried only to forget about it by pressing Home button) and the only one remedy was to restart the phone.

I want a "checkpoints" app for my nomia 822 windows phone. It seems Apple has all the money making apps. I am ready to pitch my nomia!!!! They dont even have "carot" which tells you which apps are draining your battery as seen on national tv. That is also an APPLE phone. Wake up Nomia before you lose out!!!

This is a peer-to-peer troubleshooting forum. You may coordinate with the developer of the application for your concern. This is to check with them if they'll support Nokia Lumia phones for their applications.

The back button gives the illusion of closing out web sites, etc. It actually only changes the screen, everything is still open and using battery life. Erggh. Surely there's a solution, right? They wouldn't have sent this to market without solving this truly basic issue! Right? I hope we find something. I have a week left to cancel and return the phone.😣
